The game of school is an interesting essay which described some of my own feelings and observations towards school. The main point I found from the essay is that there are so many factors which negatively affect a students learning at school, the biggest one being that students fake learning and teachers fake teaching. I have experienced this to be true in some cases where teachers pass the time by grading homework in class rather than teaching, or make easy tests so they wont have to take as much time to grade them. This caused for less learning in class and less time to cover subjects and actually learn the information in class. The other side of this is some students don't put the effort into learning either because they want to act cool, and acting interested in school is not cool, or they try to take the easy way out. An example of this is being assigned homework in history class where there are short answers that require reading the chapter, but students will just skim the text to find the subject and be done with it. This does not promote learning the broad topic, rather it gives a small range of facts. This can be attributed to poor teaching ciriculum or unmotivated teachers and students.
